AngieK9 Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 My auntie sadly passed away today peacefully after a long fight against breast cancer. She had retired to live in Spain and leaves behind her husband David, daughter Susan, Sue's husband Andy & their little boy Calum who have got a flight to Spain tonight with my mum ( funerals in Spain take place within a day or two). Sheila was a lovely lady and I have fond memories of staying at their home in Llanrwst, North Wales, Chester and visiting David's parent's house on Lord Derby's estate (his dad was his valet). My mum went to Spain a few weeks ago for Sheila's 70th birthday. Sheila was looking forward to seeing Cliff Richard later this year, I emailed his author & fan club & explained everything and Sir Cliff sent her a signed photo that she was made up with. Sheila refused to take drugs and had alternative therapies, she was very strong despite being in so much pain. My heart goes out to Sue and my mum, especially my mum having lost my dad in March. This year myself & my husband have lost his mum & uncle, my auntie , my dad & my auntie Edna, Sheila as well as our GSD Jade. Please light a candle, say a prayer for my Auntie Sheila. Thankyou for your kind messages. I bought a card and would like to know if you think it's appropriate. We are not a religious family (the few of us that are left), more spiritual. This is what I chose: The sorrow that comes upon us When death's shadows fall, May make us feel that no one Will answer to our call. Yet, when a loved one's taken Their spirit still lives on, Amidst a world of peace and calm from where all suffering's gone. You see, although from Earthly life They now have gone away, In truth they have awoken To a beautiful new day. So, although you grieve so dearly now With each long day to fill, May you know that, beyond the clouds, The sun is shining for you still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collies r best Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 i'm really sorry , you've had an awful year. That card verse is beautiful and very appropiate. I normally dislike cards because the verse doesnt say what i want and i struggle to put things into words, i know what i want to say but it doesn't come out right. The card you've chosen has beautiful words and meaning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
